Meet Libby !

In April 2013 our daughter and sister, 8 Year old Libby was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and our lives were turned upside down.

In order to survive Libby needs to be receive insulin constantly. Libby wears an Insulin pump full time she cannot take a break from it.

The insulin is delivered in to her body via a small cannula that is inserted under her skin using a needle. The cannula that gives Libby her insulin has to be replaced every 2 days.

Libby has to check her Blood Glucose (sugar) levels regularly by pricking her finger 10-15 times a day. We check her Blood glucose levels through the night.

Before she started using the Insulin pump in May 2014 Libby had to be given her insulin by injection in her leg or tummy. In just 13 months from when she was diagnosed Libby had over 2000 Insulin injections and carried out over 4000 finger prick tests.

Despite constant monitoring day and night for most people with Type 1 Diabetes it is a constant battle to manage their illness and as a result their life is in almost constant danger.

No child should have to deal with this.

Type 1 Diabetes Facts

About Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin, a hormone that enables people to get energy from food. It occurs when the body’s immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.

While its causes are not yet entirely understood, scientists believe that both genetic factors and environmental triggers are involved. Its onset has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. There is nothing you can do to prevent T1D, and—at present—nothing you can do to get rid of it.

Whom Type 1 Diabetes Affects

Type 1 diabetes strikes both children and adults at any age. It comes on suddenly, causes dependence on injected or pumped insulin for life, and carries the constant threat of devastating complications.

How Type 1 Diabetes Is Managed

Living with T1D is a constant challenge. People with the disease must carefully balance insulin doses (either by injections multiple times a day or continuous infusion through a pump) with eating and other activities throughout the day and night. They must also measure their blood-glucose level by pricking their fingers for blood six or more times a day. Despite this constant attention, people with T1D still run the risk of dangerous high or low blood-glucose levels, both of which can be life threatening. People with T1D overcome these challenges on a daily basis.

Insulin Is Not a Cure

While insulin injections or infusion allow a person with T1D to stay alive, they do not cure the disease, nor do they necessarily prevent the possibility of the disease’s serious effects, which may include: kidney failure, blindness, nerve damage, heart attack, stroke, and pregnancy complications.

The Outlook for Treatments and a Cure

Although T1D is a serious and difficult disease, treatment options are improving all the time, and people with T1D can lead full and active lives. JDRF is driving research to progressively remove the impact of the disease from people’s lives until we ultimately achieve a world without T1D.

Warning Signs

Warning signs of T1D may occur suddenly and can include:

• Extreme thirst

• Frequent urination

• Drowsiness or lethargy

• Increased appetite

• Sudden weight loss

• Sudden vision changes

• Sugar in the urine

• Fruity odor on the breath

• Heavy or labored breathing

• Stupor or unconsciousness

If you have concerns about any of these symptoms please speak to you Doctor.
